TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for operating beamformed reference signals in communication systems.

BACKGROUND

In order to meet the demand for wireless data traffic soring since the fourth generation (4G) communication system came to the market, there are ongoing efforts to develop enhanced fifth generation (5G) communication systems or pre-5G communication systems. For the reasons, the 5G communication system or pre-5G communication system is called the beyond 4G network communication system or post long term evolution (LTE) system.

For higher data transmit rates, 5G communication systems are considered to be implemented on ultra-high frequency bands (mmWave), such as, e.g., 60 GHz. To mitigate pathloss on the ultra-high frequency band and increase the reach of radio waves, the following techniques are taken into account for the 5G communication system: beamforming, massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO), full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antenna, analog beamforming, and large scale antenna.

Also being developed are various technologies for the 5G communication system to have an enhanced network, such as evolved or advanced small cell, cloud radio access network (cloud RAN), ultra-dense network, device-to-device (D2D) communication, wireless backhaul, moving network, cooperative communication, coordinated multi-point (CoMP), and interference cancellation.

There are also other various schemes under development for the 5G system including, e.g., hybrid FSK and QAM modulation (FQAM) and sliding window superposition coding (SWSC), which are advanced coding modulation (ACM) schemes, and filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC), non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and sparse code multiple access (SCMA), which are advanced access schemes.

Meanwhile, MIMO technology increases channel capacity within limited frequency resources by using multiple antennas and provides channel capacity theoretically proportional to the number of antennas by multiple antennas having an excellent scattering environment.

However, MIMO technology has a limited space and area where antennas may be installed, and the inter-antenna interval has a significant influence on communication capability. That is, as the inter-antenna interval decreases, radio channels present a higher correlation. In particular, when antennas have the same polarization, radio channels have a significantly high correlation, and interference between radio channels reduces reliability and data transmission ratio of data communication.

Accordingly, various polarization directions of antennas need to be used in order to increase channel capacity while decreasing the area where multiple antennas are installed. This is why interference between radio channels may be decreased when antennas have multiple polarizations.

MIMO technology requires a precoding task for previously coding data in order to efficiently transmit data. Further, a data precoding rule represented as a matrix is called precoding matrix, and a set of precoding matrixes is called codebook.

Although various codebooks have been suggested for operation of non-beamformed reference signals, there is no suggestion as to efficient codebooks regarding operation of beamformed reference signals. Therefore, a need exists for low-complexity, high-performance schemes for generating codebooks when operating beamformed reference signals.

The above information is presented as background information only to assist with an understanding of the present disclosure. No determination has been made, and no assertion is made, as to whether any of the above might be applicable as prior art with regard to the present disclosure.

FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a scenario in which a beamformed reference signal is operated in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, the communication system shown includes a base station (also denoted herein as evolved nodeB (eNB)) 100 and a terminal (also denoted herein as user equipment (UE)) 110.

eNB 100 transmits control information, including a field indicating whether a first codebook is used to generate a channel state information (CSI) feedback, to UE 110 in operation 101. The first codebook means a brand-new codebook generated by a brand-new scheme as provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and it is here assumed that the field contained in the control information indicates that the first codebook is used to generate the CSI feedback.

When the field contained in the control information received by UE 110 indicates that the first codebook is not used to generate the CSI feedback, UE 110 uses a second codebook, not the first codebook, to generate the CSI feedback. Here, the second feedback means a legacy codebook.

In order to use signal transmission utilizing massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology, eNB 100 must determine beamforming appropriate for a channel between eNB 100 and UE 110. Time division duplexing (TDD) systems primarily determine per-UE beamforming appropriate for data transmission based on a sounding reference signal (SRS) received from UE 110, and frequency division duplexing (FDD) systems primarily determine per-UE beamforming based on CSI transmitted from UE 110.

In order to increase beamforming accuracy in a full dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO) system, eNB 100 generates first beamforming information using feedback information on a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) transmitted at a long period or a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted from UE 110, and transmits an additional reference signal having the first beamforming information applied thereto. Here, CSI-RS means a reference signal transmitted for CSI computation. Thereafter, eNB 100 may generate more accurate second beamforming information using feedback information on CSI transmitted for the additional reference signal and may apply the second beamforming information to data transmission.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of generating beamforming information using an SRS that eNB 100 receives from UE 110. That is, eNB 100 receives a SRS periodically transmitted from UE 110 at operation 105. Thus, eNB 100 receiving the SRS performs precoding per UE and determines first beamforming information at operation 107.

When beamforming information is generated using a CSI-RS transmitted at a long period, operation 105 of FIG. 1 may be replaced with a configuration in which eNB 100 transmits CSI-RS to UE 110 at a long period and in response receives feedback information containing CSI from UE 110.

Having determined first beamforming information, eNB 100 transmits CSI-RS having beamforming information related per transmission port applied thereto, i.e., beamforming CSI-RS (BF-CSI-RS), to UE 110 at operation 109.

UE 110 computes CSI based on the received BF-CSI-RS at operation 111. That is, UE 110 selects a precoding matrix index (PMI) and rank index (RI) based on the first codebook according to the control information received in operation 101 and computes a channel quality indicator (CQI) based on the selected PMI and RI.

Thereafter, UE 110 reports the CSI computed in operation 111 to eNB 100 at operation 113, and eNB 100 compensates for RI and CQI based on the CSI and performs precoding adjustment and determines second beamforming information at operation 115. The eNB 100 having determined second beamforming information transmits a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal having beamforming information related per transmission port applied thereto to UE 110 at operation 117.

A configuration in which control information containing a field indicating whether the first codebook is used to generate CSI feedback is transmitted before operation 105 where SRS is received has been described in connection with FIG. 1, for example. However, the control information may also be sent after operation 105 where SRS is received.

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating an example of a configuration of a reference signal port used upon transmission of a beamforming information-applied reference signal by a base station.

Referring to FIG. 2, eNB 100 may apply various schemes to configure a reference signal port, and in one embodiment, eNB 100 may configure a BF-CSI-RS per antenna polarization to utilize the characteristics of a cross polarization antenna. Here, BF-CSI-RS corresponding to each polarization may be configured in pairs. That is, eNB 100 configures a total of eight reference signal ports including four pairs (A1, B1), (A2, B2), (A3, B3), and (A4, B4) and transmits BF-CSI-RS through each port.

Beamforming information applied to BF-CSI-RS sent through each port, e.g., beamforming weight, is determined to form a signal transmission in a dominant direction considering the radio environment channel between eNB 100 and UE 110.

Generally, beam for generating codebook is a major approach for configuring a beam direction in a correlated MIMO environment as a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vector.

However, since in operation of beamforming information-applied CSI-RS, i.e., BF-CSI-RS, a beam is used in generating a reference signal, a codebook for selecting a beam preferred by UE among received beams, rather than information configuring a beam, is necessary. In the following embodiment, a method for generating a brand new codebook used for beam selection is described.

First Embodiment: Scheme for Generating Brand New Codebook by Utilizing a Legacy Eight Transmit Antenna Port (8Tx) Codebook Structure

According to a first embodiment of the present disclosure, described is a scheme for generating a brand new codebook utilizing legacy 8Tx codebook structure and using an appropriate ν_(m) vector as a beam for generating the codebook.

In Equation 2, the B matrix is a 4×32-size matrix, and a W1 and W2 codebook is generated based on the B matrix.

In the following embodiment of the present disclosure, described is a method in which a ν_(m) vector of a proper size, e.g., 4×1 size, is utilized as a beam for generating codebook to generate an 8Tx codebook appropriate for operation of BF-CSI-RS.

In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, a brand-new codebook may be generated using

$v_{m_{1}} = {\sqrt{\frac{Q}{2}}e_{m_{1}}^{({N_{p}/2})}}$ and u_(m) ₂ =1 as beams for generating codebook assuming that δ_(1,1)=1, δ_(1,2)=2, and δ_(1,3)=3 in the codebook shown in Table 22. Here, N_(p) denotes the number of antenna ports, and the e_(i) ^((N)) vector is a vector of N size in which the ith element is 1, and the other elements are 0's.

Table 25 represents 8Tx codebook for each of rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 generated based on the codebook shown in Table 22. The codebook for each of rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 in the codebook lacks W2 feedback, and thus, one codeword is used for the codebook. This means that information on PMI need not be fed back when rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 feedbacks are made. It is assumed in Table 25 below that the brand-new codebook starts from element index 0.

Conditions for using the codebook shown in Tables 13, 14, 20, 21, 25 are as follows:

1) When class B of CSI report type applies (e.g., CSI-Reporting-Type=‘Class B’)

2) When only one CSI-RS resource is configured in UE (e.g., only one CSI-RS-ConfigNZPId configuration)

3) When UE is instructed to use the codebook shown in Tables 13, 14, 20, 21, 25 (e.g., PMI-Config=1)

Further, the future standard may use rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 codebook as shown in Tables 21 to 24.

In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, a brand-new codebook may be generated using

$v_{m_{1}} = {\sqrt{\frac{Q}{2}}e_{m_{1}}^{({N_{p}/2})}}$ and u_(m) ₂ =1 as beams for generating codebook assuming O1=1 in the codebook shown in Tables 26 and 29. Here, N_(p) denotes the number of antenna ports, and the e vector is a vector of N size in which the ith element is 1, and the other elements are 0's.

When

$v_{m_{1}} = {\sqrt{\frac{Q}{2}}e_{m_{1}}^{({N_{p}/2})}}$ and u_(m) ₂ =1 are utilized as beams for generating codebook under the assumption that O₁=1, an 8Tx codebook for each of rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 as shown in Table 25 may be generated. The codebook for each of rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 in the codebook lacks W2 feedback, and thus, one codeword is used for the codebook. This means that information on PMI need not be fed back when rank-5, rank-6, rank-7, and rank-8 feedbacks are made.

Third Embodiment: Scheme for Generating Feedback Information Other than PMI

According to a third embodiment of the present disclosure, a scheme for generating feedback information other than PMI is described.

In one embodiment, the system may assume the following feedback or may indicate the same to the terminal in order to feedback W1 codebook index.

1) stop UE from performing W1 feedback

2) allow UE to feedback particular W1 index (e.g., feedback “0” as W1 information)

3) in order to instruct the 2) UE operation above, eNB instructs UE to do codebook subset restriction for the operation

In another embodiment, in order to feed back a precoding type indicator (PTI), a relevant system may assume the following feedback or instruct UE to do the feedback.

1) stop UE from performing PTI feedback

2) allow UE to feedback particular PTI index (e.g., always feedback “1” as PTI information)

3) in order to instruct the 2) UE operation above, eNB instructs UE to do codebook subset restriction on W1 codebook for the operation. In this case, the W1 codebook available to UE is limited to one value, and resultantly, UE always feeds back “1” as PTI information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a communication system may use a legacy codebook or a brand-new codebook generated by a brand-new scheme as suggested herein when generating feedback information on downlink reference signal. Accordingly, eNB transmits control information indicating whether the brand-new codebook is used when generating feedback information to UE before transmitting the reference signal to UE. Here, the control information may be designed in the format as shown in Table 30 below.

TABLE 30 AntennaInfoDedicated-r1x ,,= SEQUENCE { alternativeCodebookEnabled-r1x BOOLEAN or ENUMERATED or BIT STRING }

That is, the control information shown in Table 30 contains a field indicating whether the brand-new codebook is used to generate CSI feedback. When transmitting the control information, UE may use the legacy codebook or brand-new codebook according to the value indicated by the field contained in the control information.

As another example, eNB transmits control information indicating the type of reference signal to UE before transmitting the reference signal. The type of reference signal includes type 1 and type 2, and type 1 denotes that the reference signal is not beamformed, and type 2 denotes that the reference signal is beamformed. Here, the control information may be designed in the format as shown in Table 31 below.

TABLE 31 NZP-CSI-RS-r1x ,,= SEQUENCE { CSI-RS-Type-r1x  {Class A, Class B} }

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the brand-new codebook has a high chance of being used in UE receiving BF-CSI-RS. Accordingly, when information on CSI-RS type is delivered to UE as shown in Table 31, UE may determine a codebook to be used for generating CSI feedback based on the CSI-RS type information. That is, when receiving control information containing type 1-related information, UE generates CSI feedback using the legacy codebook, and upon receiving control information including type 2-related information, UE generates CSI feedback using the brand-new codebook.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operation of a beamformed reference signal by a base station in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Described in connection with FIG. 3 is an operation in which eNB generates first beamforming information using SRS received from UE.

Referring to FIG. 3, in operation 301, eNB transmits, to UE, control information containing a field indicating whether a first codebook is used for generating CSI feedback. Here, the field contained in the control information is assumed to indicate that the first codebook, i.e., a brand-new codebook, is used for generating CSI feedback.

In operation 305, eNB waits to receive SRS periodically transmitted from UE, and eNB goes to operation 307 to determine whether SRS is received. When it is determined in operation 307 that unless SRS is received, eNB goes to operation 305 to wait to receive SRS. When it is determined in operation 307 that SRS is received, eNB goes to operation 309 to determine first beamforming information based on the received SRS information. That is, eNB determines the first beamforming information by performing per-UE precoding on the received SRS information. In operation 311, eNB transmits, to UE, a BF-CSI-RS having beamforming information applied thereto based on the first beamforming information.

In operation 313, eNB waits to receive feedback information on the BF-CSI-RS transmitted in operation 311, e.g., a CSI report, and goes to operation 315 to determine whether the CSI report is received. When the CSI report is not determined to be received, eNB goes to operation 313 to wait to receive the CSI report, and when the CSI report is received, eNB goes to operation 317 to determine second beamforming information based on CSI report information. That is, eNB compensates for RI and CQI based on the CSI report and performs precoding adjustment to determine the second beamforming information.

In operation 319, eNB transmits, to UE, data having beamforming information applied thereto based on the second beamforming information.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operation of a beamformed reference signal by a base station in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Described in connection with FIG. 4 is an operation in which eNB generates first beamforming information using beamforming information received corresponding to a CSI-RS transmitted at a long period.

Referring to FIG. 4, in operation 401, eNB transmits, to UE, control information containing a field indicating whether a first codebook derives CSI feedback and is used for a report for a CSI process. Here, the field contained in the control information is assumed to indicate that the first codebook, i.e., a brand-new codebook, derives the CSI feedback and is used for a report for a CSI process.

In operation 403, eNB transmits a long term CSI-RS transmitted at a long period to UE and goes to operation 405 to wait to receive feedback information transmitted corresponding to the long-term CSI-RS.

In operation 407, eNB determines whether feedback information is received, and when no feedback information is received, eNB goes to operation 405 to wait to receive feedback information. When it is determined in operation 407 that the feedback information is received, eNB goes to operation 409 to determine first beamforming information based on the received feedback information. That is, eNB determines the first beamforming information by performing per-UE precoding on the received feedback information. In operation 411, eNB transmits, to UE, a BF-CSI-RS having beamforming information applied thereto based on the first beamforming information.

In operation 413, eNB waits to receive feedback information on the BF-CSI-RS transmitted in operation 411, e.g., a CSI report, and goes to operation 415 to determine whether the CSI report is received. When the CSI report is not determined to be received, eNB goes to operation 413 to wait to receive the CSI report, and when the CSI report is received, eNB goes to operation 417 to determine second beamforming information based on CSI report information. That is, eNB compensates for RI and CQI based on the CSI report and performs precoding adjustment to determine the second beamforming information.

In operation 419, eNB transmits, to UE, data having beamforming information applied thereto based on the second beamforming information.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operation of a beamformed reference signal by a terminal in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 5, in operation 501, UE receives, from eNB, control information containing a field indicating whether a first codebook, i.e., brand-new codebook, is used for generating CSI feedback. In operation 503, UE obtains codebook-related information indicated by the field contained in the control information. That is, UE obtains information indicating whether the brand-new codebook is used for generating CSI feedback.

In operation 505, UE receives beamforming information-applied BF-CSI-RS from eNB and estimates channel based on the received BF-CSI-RS.

In operation 507, UE configures feedback information on BF-CSI-RS, e.g., CSI, based on the codebook-related information obtained in operation 503. That is, when the codebook-related information obtained in operation 503 indicates that the brand-new codebook is used for generating CSI feedback, UE configures a CSI based on the brand-new codebook, and when the codebook-related information indicates that the brand-new codebook is not used for generating CSI feedback, UE configures a CSI based on the legacy codebook.

In operation 509, UE transmits the CSI configured in operation 507 to eNB and goes to operation 511 to receive data from eNB.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operation of a beamformed reference signal by a terminal in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 6, in operation 601, UE receives, from eNB, control information containing a field indicating whether a first codebook, i.e., brand-new codebook, is used for generating CSI feedback. In operation 603, UE determines whether the brand-new codebook is used for generating CSI feedback based on the field information contained in the control information.

When it is determined in operation 603 that the field contained in the control information indicates that the brand-new codebook is used for generating CSI feedback, UE goes to operation 605 to receive a beamforming information-applied BF-CSI-RS from eNB and estimates channel based on the received BF-CSI-RS.

In operation 607, UE configures feedback information on the BF-CSI-RS, e.g., CSI information, based on the brand-new codebook and goes to operation 609 to transmit the CSI information configured in operation 607.

On the other hand, when it is determined in operation 603 that the field contained in the control information indicates that the brand-new codebook is not used for generating CSI feedback, UE goes to operation 613 to receive a non-beamformed CSI-RS from eNB and estimates channel based on the received CSI-RS. Here, the non-beamformed CSI-RS means non-precoded CSI-RS.

In operation 615, UE configures feedback information on the BF-CSI-RS, e.g., CSI information, based on the legacy codebook and goes to operation 609 to transmit the CSI information configured in operation 615.

Thereafter, in operation 611, UE receives data from eNB.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operation of a beamformed reference signal by a terminal in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 7, in operation 701, UE receives control information containing reference signal type information from eNB. Here, reference signal type information includes type 1 information indicating that reference signal is not beamformed and type 2 information indicating that reference signal is beamformed.

In operation 703, UE determines whether control information includes type 1 information or type 2 information, and when the control information includes type 1 information, UE goes to operation 705 to receive a type 1 reference signal, i.e., a non-beamformed reference signal, and estimates channel based on the received reference signal.

In operation 707, UE configures feedback information on the reference signal, e.g., CSI information, based on the legacy codebook and goes to operation 709 to transmit the CSI information configured in operation 707.

On the other hand, when it is determined in operation 703 that the control information includes type 2 information, UE goes to operation 713 to receive a type 2 reference signal, i.e., a beamformed BF-CSI-RS and estimates channel based on the received BF-CSI-RS.

In operation 715, UE configures feedback information on the BF-CSI-RS, e.g., CSI information, based on the brand-new codebook and goes to operation 709 to transmit the CSI information configured in operation 715.

Thereafter, in operation 711, UE receives data from eNB.

FIG. 8 is a view illustrating an internal configuration of a terminal operating a beamformed reference signal in a communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 8, a UE 800 as shown includes a controller 810, a communication unit 820, and a storage unit 830, and controller 810 includes a reference signal detector 801 and a feedback information generator 803.

In particular, controller 810 controls UE 800 to perform the overall operation related to operation of beamformed reference signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Further, reference signal detector 801 in controller 810 detects a reference signal from an eNB, and feedback information generator 803 generates feedback information on the reference signal. Here, the same description given above in connection with FIGS. 1 and 5 to 7 applies to operation of the beamformed reference signal, and no further detailed description is given below.

Communication unit 820 transmits and receives various messages under the control of controller 810.
